Mauritius Post wishes to inform other Union member countries and their designated operators that, in response to a significant number of new COVID-19 infections, the Government of Mauritius has extended the current lockdown until 30 April 2021.
While reinforcing measures to minimize the spread of the virus, the Mauritian government has also announced a partial resumption of economic activities from 1 April 2021, under the strict conditions of the Quarantine Act 2020.
Mauritius Post has always coordinated with local authorities to identify solutions best suited to the local situation in providing postal services to customers. In this context, postal services will be limited to the payment of pensions to senior citizens until 10 April. All postal activities will resume from 12 April.
However, the extension of the lockdown will have a direct impact on postal operations. Although the airport remains open, international air traffic is still limited to a few airlines. Consequently, as long as the lockdown is in place, Mauritius Post will be unable to collect and send outbound mail for certain destinations. The processing and delivery of all types of mail will continue to be affected, and Mauritius Post is unable to guarantee compliance with the agreed standards.
All other conditions stated in previous EmIS messages remain unchanged.
Mauritius Post thanks all Union member countries and their designated operators for their understanding, and will inform them via EmIS once the situation has returned to normal.
